Read your linux console output

Maybe someone finds an use for this, what it does :

And the code :

$h = popen('cd /ot/forgottenserver && ./tfs', 'r');

        if ($h) {
            while (!feof($h)) {
                $buf = fread($h, 1024);

                $fileHandle = fopen("/var/www/public/stream.html", "a+");

                if ($fileHandle) {
                    fwrite($fileHandle, $buf);
                    fclose($fileHandle);
                }
            }

            pclose($h);
        }

It will write all the console output into the file you want, then you can load it with jQuery or something :3

This is nice! I think I'll use this in an upcoming server of mine.

How do I use this? Where to use it?

as a .php file

$h = popen('CODE TO OPEN SERVER', 'r');

        if ($h) {
            while (!feof($h)) {
                $buf = fread($h, 1024);

                $fileHandle = fopen("FILE TO WRITE LOG", "a+");

                if ($fileHandle) {
                    fwrite($fileHandle, $buf);
                    fclose($fileHandle);
                }
            }

            pclose($h);
        }

Does this work to read a screen as well?
$h = popen('screen -x otserver', 'r');

Didnt really tried it out but I guess so

I don't think so. Problem is that it will read from console until OTS stop [same for' screen'] and it will close ots if you close that script. How to run ots from website? Use PHP SSH2 [connect like putty, start ots on screen etc.], but it's not easy to install.

How to read console in PHP? Save console to file and read that file:
To start ots use:
stdbuf -oL "./tfs" > console.log 2>&1
It saves all messages and errors that TFS shows to file 'console.log' in folder with TFS. Then you just need to open that file and use some jQuery/AJAX to update website (load new lines from file).

EDIT:
This is my 'panel' that uses PHP SSH2 to manage TFS 0.4:
